Shaddad Abu Ammar says that once Hazrat Awf bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O plague! Take hold of me." People asked, "Did you hear the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) say that however long a Muslim lives, it is better for him?" He replied, "Why not, but I fear six things: the rule of fools, justice being sold, widespread gambling, severing of family ties, the rise of a generation that will make the Qur'an into a musical instrument, and bloodshed."

It is narrated from Hazrat Awf bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I sought permission from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to enter the house and asked, "Should I come in completely or half?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Come in completely." So I went inside. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was performing ablution excellently at that time. He said to me, "O Awf bin Malik! Count six things before the Day of Judgment comes: First, the passing away of your Prophet; then, the conquest of Bayt al-Maqdis; then, a plague of death will spread among you just as it spreads among sheep; then, the appearance of tribulations; and wealth will increase so much that even if a man is given a hundred dinars, he will still be displeased; then, under banners—under each banner will be an army of twelve thousand—the Romans will come to fight you."

Once, Hazrat Awf bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) and Dhu’l-Kila’ entered the Al-Aqsa Mosque, that is, Bayt al-Maqdis. Hazrat Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him,“You have your nephew (Ka’b Ahbar) with you.”Dhu’l-Kila’ said,“He is the best man among all people.”Hazrat Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) said,“I bear witness that I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Only he may deliver admonition who is a leader, or has been given its command and permission, or else he is being pretentious (showing off).”

Shaddad Abu Ammar reports that once Hazrat Awf bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O plague! Take hold of me." The people asked, "Did you hear the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say that however much life a Muslim is granted, it is better for him?" He replied, "Why not..." Then the narrator mentioned the entire hadith.

It is narrated from Hazrat Awf bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Only he can deliver admonition who is an amir (leader), or has been ordered and permitted to do so, or else he is being pretentious (showing off).

It is narrated from Hazrat Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I saw the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) leading the funeral prayer for a deceased person, and I understood this supplication of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): O Allah! Forgive him, have mercy on him, grant him well-being, and pardon him. Make his abode an honorable place. Widen his place of entry (the grave). Wash him with water, snow, and hail. Cleanse him of sins as a white garment is cleansed of dirt. Grant him a home better than his home, a family better than his family, and a wife better than his wife. Admit him into Paradise, protect him from Hell, and grant him salvation from the punishment of the grave.

It is narrated from Hazrat Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us, and in his blessed hand was a staff. At that time, some bunches of dates were hanging in the mosque, among which there were also some unripe dates in one bunch. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) shook it with his staff and said, "If the one giving charity wished, he could have given more than this in charity. This person who gave charity will eat unripe dates on the Day of Resurrection." Then, turning towards us, he said, "By Allah, O people of Madinah! You will leave this city of Madinah for birds and beasts for forty years."

It is narrated from Hazrat Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would camp at any place, his Muhajir companions (may Allah be pleased with them) would be close to him. Once, we camped at a place and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up for the night prayer while we were sleeping around. Suddenly, I woke up at night and did not find the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in his sleeping place. I went out in search of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and saw Hazrat Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) and Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him). I reached them and asked about the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Suddenly, we heard a sound like that produced by a millstone, and we stopped in our tracks. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was coming from the direction of that sound. When he came near, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "What happened to you?" We replied, "When we woke up and did not find you in your place, we feared that some harm might have come to you, so we set out to search for you." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "A messenger from my Lord came to me and gave me the choice between two things: that half of my Ummah would enter Paradise, or that I would be granted the right of intercession. So I preferred the aspect of intercession." We both said, "O Messenger of Allah! We ask you, by Islam and the right of your companionship, to pray to Allah that He includes us in your intercession." Other people also arrived and began making the same request, and their number increased. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Every person who dies in such a state that he does not associate anyone with Allah will be included in my intercession."

It is narrated from Hazrat Auf (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we set out on a military expedition and our leader was Hazrat Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him). We were afflicted by hunger. During this time, we passed by a people who had slaughtered a camel. I said to the people, "I will bring you its meat on the condition that you will also let me eat from it." So I picked it up. Then, taking the portion they gave me, I went to Hazrat Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him), but he refused to eat it. Then I took it to Hazrat Abu Ubaidah bin Jarrah (may Allah be pleased with him), but he said the same as Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and refused to eat it. Then, on the occasion of the conquest of Makkah, I presented it to the service of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Are you the one with the camel?" I replied, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah!" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not say anything more to me than this.

It is narrated from Hazrat Awf bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I sought permission to enter the house of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at the time of suhoor and asked, "Should I come in completely or half?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Come in completely." So I went inside, and at that time the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was performing ablution excellently.
